Hi everyone.
I got this POG off a fellow Softie. (Skip for pictures, price and specs)
--------------------------
The story behind
The EHX original POG's power supply is tricky;
- 18v
- ~200ma
- 2.5mm barrel
- Positive polarity(reverse/non-standard BOSS polarity)
The diagnosis of the its original spoilt condition by Guitar Connection, was that someone has changed its polarity of the pedal itself, to a negative polarity/standard. Therefore, the previous owner might have blown the IC chip by introducing it with the positive polarity.
Guitar Connection replaced the chip and strongly encouraged me to get its own EHX power supply. However, I want to power my pedals through my Cioks DC10. I had spend about six weeks in total and lots of effort(repair time/research/calls/emails/walks/money) to get the right adapters to meet the power requirement before plugging in, to be safe.
Alas, it did not work on my side.
To recap, these should be the right power requirement now;
- 18v
- ~200ma
- 2.5mm barrel
- Standard/negative polarity
My only strong guess after research and asking questions is, my own Cioks' voltage doubler cable is not working.
The new power configuration of the POG has proven to be a challenge for me. I could try to make it work by checking specifically which adapter Guitar Connection was using and get the EHX power adapter from Ebenex OR get another reliable voltage doubler cable.
However, my fellow Softies, I have went through enough to know the EHX POG is not meant to be on my pedalboard.
--------------------------
Price: Was 100, Now 50
Working Condition: No
Cosmetic Condition: 1 sleeve missing
Power requirement;
- 18v
- 200ma
- 2.5mm barrel
- Standard polarity
Still, although I wish I could, I cannot guarantee it will work even with its EHX power adapter. Our best course of action is to;
- send it to Guitar Connection to test it
- fix it again if necessary
- find out specifically which adapter they are using
- get the adapter from Ebenex(GC recommended).
It will probably cost 40(Repair if needed) + ~40(EHX power adapter).
In the end, you will probably get a vintage EHX Original POG below 200.
The reason why I am letting it go is because it has been too much effort for me to get it to work on my pedalboard, that I'd rather, really, get it off my back.
I will throw in the PedalSnake 2.1mm to 2.5mm cable adapter along with the POG.

Thank you for reading/viewing.
